Each spoonful has a different layer combination.  Like there’s, black grapes with creamy coconut flakes topped with mini marshmallows in these too cute little cluster formations.  Or pineapple and cherries smothered in coconut cream with green and red grapes singing, Kumbaya in your mouth! These luscious combinations will…

We filled our mugs with creamy vanilla ice cream and cold root beer, but we didn’t stop there.  My daughter the aspiring budding chef that she is, planted the cupcakes in our mugs and if that wasn’t enough,…
